médico de medicare y medicate como nunca antes y nos ahorramos decenas de miles de millones de dólares. he trabajado de republicanos y demócratas para rebajar un millón de millones. el recorte mayor fiscal de este presupuesto. todos sabemos que tenemos que hacer más, por lo tanto, presenté un déficit de 4.000 millones de dólares, está en la página cibernética nuestra. pueden ver las cifras y que entradas elevamos. y la manera que hacemos nosotros, son 2 dólares 50 centavos por cada recorte. pedimos un dólar de entrada adicional, pagado como dije anteriormente pidiendo aquellos que han tenido buen resultado en este país. que contribuyen más para reducir el déficit. el gobernador romney mencionó la comisión. y esta comisión, bipartidista dice que tenemos que hacerlo de manera equilibrada con entradas y recortes y gastos. gran diferencia que tenemos el gobernador romney y yo. permite terminar el punto. está buscando un contraste. cuando el gobernador romney estuvo ante el escenario con otros candidatos republicanos para su nominación. le preguntaron a él, tomaría 10 d

importante, no nos ayudara a crecer y como cambias, hablas de cambiar medicare a los estados mento hablamos de 30% de recorte en medicate con el spar del tiempo. esto va y no parece como algo importante. el número en una hoja de papel si hablamos de una familia que tiene un hijo autista, y está dependiendo de ese medicate un gran problema. los gobiernos son creativos pero no son eficientemente creativos para poder darle un 30% de recortes a medicate, cuando algunas personas no reciben ayuda. >>> mira, hemos comentado muchos temas ahí, será difícil pasar del medicare. las empresas que se ex patria. el recorte fiscal para las petroleras es de 2,8 mil millones de dólares al año. en un año, tú ofreciste 90 mil millones de recortes fiscales al mundo de energía verde. a mí me gusta la energía verde, pero son 50 años de lo que recibe petróleo y gas. tú harás de exxon mobile estos 2 miles millón de dólares. van a pequeñas empresas. si logramos reducirlo de 35 a 28%, esos 2,8 mil millones de dólares están sobre la mesa. no van a sobrevivir probablemente si bajamos el tipo a 25%.
